كلمات
[Intro]
[soft pad swell
Distant shakers]
Bantwana bami
Lalelani
Kudala sigadile nina
Kudala nis’buka phezulu
Siyaphendula namhlanje (yeah)
[Verse 1]
Ngivuka ek’seni
Kukhona umoya endlini
Ngizwa amazwi angabonakali
Ath’ “ndodana
Ungakhohlwa”
Ngibona ugogo ephusheni
Esihleli eduze komlilo
Ehleka kancane
Angibiza
“Awu
S’khumbule ke manje”
[Chorus]
Bantwana bami
Bantwana bami
Sihamba nani
Ngosuku lonke
Makubenathi
Makubenathi
Nxa sidansa phansi kwelanga
Bantwana bami
Bantwana bami
Nizungezile
Nesiyezi
Makubenathi
Makubenathi
Nxa sidansa phansi kwenyanga
[Bridge]
[female vocal floats in]
Ngithi shaya phansi
Khumbula
La madlozi akho
Avukile (woah)
Umhlaba uyajika
Kodwa
Izimpande zihlala zikhona
